Standing pretty old

Chapter 11 The legend is not far away ([-])

The night had completely darkened.

Usually the gymnasium at this time should be empty.But today is different, a sweaty guy, standing alone on the basketball court, there are few balls left in the big ball basket beside him, and there are scattered balls everywhere on the floor, waiting for their next companion.

"Bang!" The basket screamed again. If it could talk, it would definitely complain to the guy who designed it, why it was not designed to be as big as the Pacific Ocean.

"Okay, stop! If you hurt yourself, it will be a bigger loss!" At some point, the door of the gymnasium was opened, and coach Luke Holland stood there quietly After watching the players practicing alone for a long time, he finally spoke.

Ruan Erniu turned his head to look at Coach Luke, but quickly lowered his head, feeling ashamed.He used to be so confident, thinking that with his physical condition, even in Millikin, he could beat opponents at the same age.But just today, a mulatto player with poor physical condition told him with practical actions that basketball is not that simple.

"Failure? Failure is just something you have to get used to for a long time in the future. In the basketball world, there has never been a general who wins all the time. Even that man named Michael Jordan, in the early and mid-term of his career, was also defeated by Bird , the magician and the smiling assassin are firmly suppressed (three mountains!). But now, who can say that Jordan is not great?" Luke Holland comforted with a smile.

Ruan Erniu stopped, looked at his coach and said, "Is it possible for me to become a player like Jordan?"

Luke Holland shrugged and said, "How do I know this? But I can guarantee my reputation throughout my coaching career. Your talent will never be lost to anyone, including the one who has been wearing North Carolina underwear all his life." Guy!" (Basketball god wears North Carolina varsity underwear every game day, and got pissed off in "Space Jam")

Ruan Erniu nodded, clenched his fists and said, "Okay, I understand. You go back first, I'll practice ball for a while and then go home!"

Luke shook his head and said: "No, go home now. Kraft, you must ensure sufficient physical strength in the past few days. If there is no accident, I will take you to meet someone on the weekend, someone who is enough to change your future .”

Ruan Erniu asked suspiciously, "Who is it?"

"The head coach of the UCLA Bruins—Ben Holland!" Luke said the answer without hiding anything.

Ruan Erniu opened his mouth wide, looking extremely surprised: "But I didn't win the game as agreed, why?"

Coach Luke did not answer this question directly, but pushed Ruan Erniu out of the gymnasium, and then locked the gate of the gymnasium.

Looking at the night sky in Los Angeles, Coach Luke said: "Ms. Nora, the Dean of Academic Affairs, asked me to give you a complete high school education as much as possible. I initially agreed, but quickly backed out, because you are destined to belong to a bigger stage. "

"Why are you so optimistic about me?" Ruan Erniu asked from the side.

"Extraordinary physical talent, rapid progress that can be seen every day, and the ability to evolve yourself in key games. If this lack of you makes me change my mind, it only proves that I am a racist, obviously , I am not! Los Angeles is a magical city. And the legend of you has just written the prologue, Kraft, I am honored to be your coach!"

"It's my pleasure too, Luke!"

Ruan Erniu hugged Luke Holland hard.

……

Time flies, and the weekend is here.

In the UCLA coach's office, the head coach of the basketball team, Ben Holland, is currently discussing with his coaching staff about the next season's combat plan.

take a vacation?Maybe they will relax properly in the first week after being eliminated, but as the masters of the NCAA, their excellent traditions have already destined them not to give up their pursuit of honor.

"Florida's frontcourt is too strong, why don't they directly participate in the NBA draft? Staying in the NCAA is simply unsolvable."

"But those people just don't go, what can you do? Their goal is very clear, which is to become the first team to successfully defend their title since the new century! This greedy crocodile (Florida Gators) is now completely It's a system bug!"

"After all, our own strength is still not enough. If we can have frontcourt players of the same level, I believe we will not lose to the opponent!"

"It's easy to say, the opponent's frontcourt is now participating in the draft, and none of them will be lower than the top 20 picks!"

"So this year we have to pay more attention to running around, recruiting talents, and recruiting the best basketball elites in the United States!"

"That's right, that's it. I don't want to watch them easily occupy the first team to successfully defend the title in the new century. It's a tragedy among tragedies to serve as the backdrop!"

……

While the Bruins coaching staff was actively discussing, a passionate electronic ringtone rang from coach Ben Holland's cell phone.

"Sorry, I'll take a call!" With that, Ben walked out with his cell phone.

"Hi! I thought you'd never call me in your life!" Ben Holland said when he got on the phone.

"Call you proactively and ask you to introduce me to join UCLA's coaching staff? Then I will really be a loser. I am very satisfied with my life now, my dear cousin!" Luke said with a smile .

"Okay, where are you now? I think you must have something important to come to me?" Ben Holland also said with a smile.

"That's right, I definitely recommend a basketball prodigy to you, a talent that you will regret for a long time if you miss it. In fact, if you are willing to look up to the direction of three o'clock, you should be able to see me bring you Here comes the 'surprise'!"

"I hope your call didn't come from April Fool's Day!" After speaking, Ben hung up the phone and looked in the direction he was told.

A middle-aged white man in a well-fitting suit is slowly approaching with a muscular Asian man.

The two white men laughed and hugged each other.

"Let me introduce to you, the basketball genius from the Celestial Dynasty - Kraft Nguyen!"

"Kraft, this is the head coach of the UCLA Bruins—Mr. Ben Holland. If you don't know the glorious history of the UCLA Bruins, you can check it online, and you will find that this is the NCAA Celtics !"

"Okay, young man. Although I haven't seen how much energy you have yet, since Luke has chosen to recommend you to me, I am willing to give you a chance to try out. Later, someone will take you to do it Physical test, remember, we only recruit real geniuses!"

"Yes, Mr. Holland, I will definitely not let you down!" Ruan Erniu said loudly.

Ben Holland turned and continued to attend his meeting, while the coach in charge of the physical test took Ruan Erniu to the UCLA training room for testing.

The meeting was over. When Ben Holland got the report in his hand and read it all, he stroked his chin subconsciously.Only then did he confirm that although the mouth was so big, fortunately the chin was still connected.
